I love the current RS3 wheels but what i dont love is that everyone who's put any spec on any model A3 also has them.

 

These are what tickle my fancy right now

What wheels would you choose?

I like the look of both of those sets.

I'd like some lightweight motorsport wheels wrapped in R888 or Pilot Sport Cup rubber.

Ive been browsing wheels for my TT RS too, theres not that many wheels out there in "OEM sizes" that seem to fit it. The TT RS is 19"x 9J all round though.

 

I'm gussing BBS CH ( CH-R) would look good on the RS3. The OZ ultralegera HTL are nice though, very light too.

 

I also love HRE wheels (S101) but not the price ...

HRE Carbons would be my Nirvana but again price......

 

Do you not think BBS CH/CH-R's look like every other HRE P40, / VMR etc. etc.? All very 'same'

I was looking at the HRE S101 last night but at near £6k without tyres I might leave it.

CH-R's are a modern classic that suit so many of the VAG models,  Look great on an RS3!

 

I like the idea of the lighweight wheels to try reduce some weight.

 

Nice bit of concave to those HRE wheels Simon,   I like the Vossen range of wheels for that reason.

They'd look very good as show wheels !

 

I'm after more sporty light wheels.

The OZ are probably your best choice then Steve.

If I can't find Sportec's I may go Team Dynamis Pro Rec 1.3's or there are some RAYS CE38's that are nice but I'm guessing the latter will be well expensive but both are lighter than OEM. Also like HRE P43's but they are more than Sportec's!

Sportecs are really nice!

Who've you tried to get them from?

TTshop and APS, Sportec's UK agent. Looking on ebay.de/it/nl/com/rn etc etc. I just can't justify £2k on new rims as nice as they are.

I had Team Dynamic Pro Race 1.2 on my TTS and they were really good. I still have the wheels - they are now my winter rims.

If I was going to swap out the standard RS3 wheels I would probably go for similar again and stay with a titanium finish.

That's the only down side to 1.3's they only come in silver so would have to have them colour changed.

Liking them a lot. The Japanese produce some great wheels through RAYS, Yokohama etc, just a PITA to get them here.

Yep, I also think they are 66.6mm centre bore rather than our 57.1mm so may be a non starter Also, they all seem to be BMW fitments at 5x120 or jap fitments. The only *** ones are 18's and deep dish unless you want 19" matt black deep dish.

 

Just looked up on the catalogue, Advan RS 8x18 5x112 ET 47 7.7kgs in either BC (Bright Chrome?) or S (silver?) 

 

RZ10 spokes are only available deep dish or there is RZ 5 'twins' which just don't look right IMO

Hold the press, supposedly you can get Advan RS-II wheels, 8x19 5x112 ET50, USD$817 each! Advan RS DD wheels in 8x18 5x112 matt black are £2400 delivered!
